Chinasa T. Okolo (Brookings Institution) - I am a Fellow in the Center for Technology Innovation at The Brookings Institution and a recent Ph.D. graduate from the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. At Cornell, my research leveraged ethnographic methods to understand how frontline healthcare workers in rural India perceive and value AI and analyzed how AI explainability can meet the needs of novice technology users in the Global South. My work has been published at top-tier venues in HCI and sociotechnical computing, including the Association for Computing Machinery’s (ACM) CHI, CSCW, COMPASS, and EAAMO conferences. I have also been recognized as one of the world’s most influential people in AI by TIME Magazine, honored in the inaugural Forbes 30 Under 30 AI list, and named one of the Most Influential Africans of 2024 by New African Magazine, a Trailblazer in Engineering, and one of 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics™.
